Don't do it bro

My take on punts is, it's great when opportunity presents itself and the coast is clear with no chance of even a brief encounter.
I myself have bumped into people I know unexpectedly as far as Greece and India, bearing in mind I am from the UK, it's not impossible.And the number of times my SO has called my cell while with a WG, having not called me all day you wouldn't believe.
I am of the opinion that while I may be up for a bit of fun, if sometime it doesn't work out and I head back to my hotel alone. The next day I am no worse off, but still a little richer for not having made that punt.
No session that brings increased risk no matter how good is worth it for just the night, if I run a risk of my SO finding out.
I myself have seen a couple of chaps I know unexpectedly with ladies that are not their SOs, of course I did not let on, as that would be wrong!

My best bud also on a date with someone other than his SO, took care to meet this girl out of town, and of all the bars he could have gone into, he went into one his SOs sister happened to have gone to on a day out.

Risky business dude!!

So just when and where would you consider it safe?!

You know when she is out of her element on a grand adventure, in far off cool places, as soon as she sees familiar face, especially of someone she had great sex with, it will be a mayhem or hormones.

This is a tough call because she will not be on the clock. This is her time, for her fun and she will doubly rock your world. I'll bet you will forget she is a pro because she will get all GF on you. Count on it.

My suggestion. Meet her in early in the morning in Sydney for a day to see the sights and catch a red eye to Auckland. Just blow out of the country and spend some time at a few quiet little hotels fucking your way around the beautiful NZ countryside. She will never be the same after that and neither will you. Trust me on the travel adventure bit. People really let their guard down in situations like this.

this might be relevant.  Is she coming here strictly for vaca?  that may complicated your planning as well.

Good point sirtiger.  My understanding is that she will be doing some work here to pay for her trip but the time she wants to allocate just to us is very much one on one and GFE.  This may well curtail the ability to fly her around.  It is a consideration that I need to take into account.

The closer to the time of her trip, and reading the comments from the bro's I might reconsider seeing her and make up an excuse that I unfortunately have to travel overseas whilst she is here.  I am scheduled to return to LA later this year and would be happy for a repeat in her hometown.  

For me, I like a controlled environment.

I have done 141 HGs, though not too many. Bar pick ups in Wanchai, where I have scoped the place out, and is a short walk (I usually stay within a couple of minutes walk). And the chances of me seeing any girls who know me personally are very very slim, as they would be unlikely to be in the Wanchai bars I frequent. And if I saw a guy I know which is far more likely, as some of my trips are to attend trade fairs in HK, they are likely to be there doing the same thing. Fortunately my trade is very male dominated!
Or go over the water to Macau, and to be fair anyone I may or my not see in a sauna is there for the same

If I punt on my home turf UK, I only book with one agency outside my home town, who have apartments in residential blocks with underground parking with direct access lifts to the apartments.

But never on a day out on my home turf.

The closest I could be considered to taking a risk is on a couple of trips to HK when I did have time on my hands and spent a day out with a WG whose company I enjoyed. But still an 11 hour flight from home. Slim slim risk of being caught by anyone let alone anyone who would know my SO.

I know it may seem over cautious, but way in the past, I had almost been caught by my SO while attending an exhibition in the UK, on the day I was travelling, she told me she had arranged for her parents to look after the kids, so she could come and spend a couple of nights away with me!
I had already been getting a past lady friend of mine lined up, who was attending the same exhibition.

Not the adrenaline rush I'm after!

You've got a few months to prepare, right?

My suggestion is to use it for casual e-mails, find out more about her schedule, her planning, if she's organising anything else to do than to meet you (and it would be pretty surprising if she isn't, right?), and to start to build a framework of expectations around what you might or might not do

If you do that you can simultaneously
  build the anticipation
  head off the bigger risks, and
  find out more about her thinking
and you win either way ...

... even if she's guarded / respectful / distant she can't help but reveal her intentions over time.  And if the alarm bells start ringing you can always bail, with an unexpected business or domestic emergency you have to handle at the last minute ...

Don't guess,

If you guess you'll imagine the worst, then guess pessimistically, and then miss out on a story you'll be remembering even after your alzheimers' hits

Instead, find out, then decide
